We then had a bit of a break before out last engagement of the day – running the festival Family Morris Dance Workshop. We think we did rather well – after a mere 40 minutes we had adults and children together doing most of Constant Billy! After that, a little show and tell about our musical instruments, and then we finished off with everybody joining in a Shepherd’s Hey.
